How to implement IT4IT: Establishing a Digital Factory for a Digital Enterprise. A case study

The IT4IT standard prescribes what systems and integrations should be implemented in order to create a foundation for a Digital Factory. The standard however does not prescribe your operating model nor is it delivering a recipe for how to roll out an actual implementation to a large organisation. In this talk we will describe how we went along implementing a digital factory based on IT4IT for a large scale organisation. We will highlight some of the challenges and tricks we used to be viewed as heroes both during and after the implementation. “
